How is excess tissue removed from the tip of the nose?
Answer: Bulbous tip By refining the tripod of cartilages that contribute to the bulbous shape. This is done by resecting the tip cartilages, suturing them together and adding cartilages on top that are harvested from your septum or ear.

Answer: Tip refinement Hello and thank you for your question. Tip refinement can be accomplished by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. Cartilage grafts may also be used to help improve tip refinement. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Answer: Strategies for a bulbous tip As a specialist in rhinoplasty surgery, I employ many different techniques for trimming, reshaping and suturing together the distal tip cartilage to form a more defined tip for both males and females. This can be performed with the open or closed technique. The reason that I have developed such a pantheon of different approaches is because no two noses are alike. (I’ve operated on identical twins, and even they had slightly different nasal structures.) Many different aspects of the nose must be factored in, such as the relation of the bony element to the tip (the line of the nose should be confluent), the thickness of the skin, the desired result. I have seen subpar results from other offices, and especially from other countries, in regard to mishandling of the tip. What should never be created is a nose that is too disproportionately small for someone’s face, or a tip that plunges upon smiling. I’ve seen blunted tips, twisted tips, overly rotated tips, visible scaring and on and on. I can not stress how important it is to study the before-and-after photos of every surgeon you consider, and ask yourself if you share the same aesthetic. Also make sure that the surgeon is a board certified plastic surgeon with decades of experience in rhinoplasty surgery

Answer: Closed Rhinoplasty Hello,In a closed rhinoplasty approach, many different options are available depending on the nose. We can perform subtle refinements of the nasal tip through a scarless approach using endonasal techniques to size, shape and positioning of the nasal tip cartilages. Depending on your need we have an answer to address it with our closed scarless technique. Sometimes it's as simple as carving and sculpting your current cartilage. Sometimes we need to reposition the tip cartilages with delivery and suture techniques. Sometimes we need to use small grafts to enhance the projection or rotation of the tip. Consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon for a consultation to see exactly what procedure you want and need. All the best, Deepak Dugar, MDScarless Rhinoplasty ExpertBeverly Hills, CA 90210

Answer: Bulbous tip surgery The bulbous tip usually has excess cartilage. It can be trimmed and the skin shrinks to adapt to the new smaller cartilage structure. In some cases there is excess fat in the tip especially in African American noses. Removal of the excess fat also helps the bulbosity. RegardsDr. Janjua

Answer: Fixing a bulbous tip Fixing a bulbous tip can be one of the most challenging aspects of rhinoplasty surgery. The cartilages which lie underneath the tip of the nose generally have to be reshaped in some way. These cartilages cannot be removed or significantly excised, as it tends to cause complications. Instead these cartilages can be sutured in various ways or often have additional cartilage added in the area to allow for re-shaping.
